    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Does anyone here have any expereince with the sexual maturity size & age of Emydura subglobosa? I have a couple slow growing males (one 3 year old male @ 4.45'' and one 2 year old male @ 4.15'') which I think are still shy of being sexually mature but would like to know when I can expect them to be large enough. I have a 7.7'' female which is 4-5'' years old. She laid 15 eggs between 2 clutches last year and has laid 21 eggs between 2 clutches this year with another clutch nearly ready to be laid. Her first clutch is already overdue which is no surprise seeing the males size. I have 2 other females one 6.8'' 3 year old I expect is already sexually mature. My last female is 5.8'' and 3 years old I suspect she maybe ready next season (if not already) based on her present growth (both 3 year old females grew .6'' just this past 2 months). On a good note one male grew .3'' this past 2 month and is now 4.45'' he hasn't seen this much growth in a small period since his first 12-18 months of age the other has seen little growth this year. With luck I'll get my 3 year old male to over 5'' by next season. There lies my orginal question will 5-5.5'' be large enough for him to be sexually mature?

Thanks
Xavier
